Getting a variable from an Actor class in the World class

I'm trying to make my game so if the "killcounter" variable exceeds a certain value, enemies begin appearing at an increased rate. i have tried: if (killCounter.totalCount > 50){ (where killcounter is the actor class and totalcount is the integer variable of the numbers of enemies killed) however it responds with: nonstatic variables cannot be referenced from a static context. pls help!

Save a reference to the killCounter object in your world and get the variable from this object and not from the class.

Or, use: 
if ((killCounter)getObjects(killCounter.class).get(0)).totalCount > 50){
which is equivalent to: 
java.util.List<killCounter> counterList = getObjects(killCounter.class);
killCounter counter = counterList.get(0);
int killCount = counter.totalCount;
if (killCount > 50){
This is presuming that exactly one killCounter object is always in the world.
